Artist description
Helen Stellar is a three piece from Chicago. Bright and echoing guitar lines, refreshing vocals with a tight, experimental rhythm section. Warm tones and dangerous excitibility. Starry-eyed as hell. Helen Stellar's music has been described as soul-shaking. Trickling guitars glide along warm, thick grooves drawing to climaxes that make you want to stand atop a mountain and yell. Helen Stellar excites escapism. Wanting to throw off the monotone shackles of everyday life and spread the wings you know you have. Stop and take some time to notice the wonder around you. Then look deeper. Thats where you'll find us. You won't even know what hit you... |

Press Reviews
On January 21, 2001, "Pop Song" debuted on Chicago's WXRT 93.1FM "Local Anesthetic". February 6, 2001, "View from a ferris wheel" gets a great review from www.mp3reviews.com "Delicately eerie. Textured and watery guitars and a deeply reverberant voice. Harmonics and sound scapes here and there and everywhere. Low end that makes you want to drive an 8 cylinder 1970 Pontiac Le Mans and let it idle for a while. A hypnotic and endlessly repeated four chords. A modern day space jam relying on concentration and freedom, rather than extended soloing. A most well produced and executed sample of great things to come. The future of Helen Stellar shall be symphonious and cacophonous mastery, crafted and brewed with tender nourishing. Be sure to listen to this sample with a healthy supply of Vitamin C. Stare at the wall and watch as it melts while this songs groove facilitates drifting into mindless focusing. Download this and other Helen Stellar creations at fine MP3 grocery stores everywhere." -- Matt |
